Cool weather camping
For those of you that dry camp in cooler weather without running the heater, what type of blankets do you use? Do you use sleeping bags?

Since our TC doesn't have a furnace, we have no choice other than body heat, to stay warm at night. And since it's a small space, we MUST keep some fresh air moving through the camper or else it gets too damp from condensation inside. We have blankets for those nicely-cool nights; and then yes, we'll open sleeping bags to use as comforters for the nights that get down to the low 40's. Any colder than that, then we seek electric for our heater.
I have tent-camped in temps in the mid-20's; so anything warmer than that seems fine to me....LOL!
A cold-weather nighttime tip: if you know it's going to get cold, sleep in a hooded sweatshirt, and pull the hood over your head (or wear a stocking cap). You lose a LOT of body heat from your head.
